Earlier, I mentioned some MySQL optimization resources. Here is the guide on optimizing sysctl.conf. Today, I will be optimizing MySQL 5.0.15 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 with dual Xeon 2GHz processors and 2GB RAM.

Note: Please use this work-in-progress guide for reference only and at your own risk. I am creating this guide on a development server and will not be responsible if anything bad happens. If you find something is incorrect or can be made better please let me know by adding a comment to my blog (mysqldatabaseadministration)
